removal of plenum

[yellowbelly]

wanting to paint my plenum and will want to remove it to do so, my question is should i replace the gasket as surely they aren't too expensive?

where's my best place to get one?

You could use your old one, you shouldnt damage it when taking off the plenum, just give it a clean when putting it back on so you get a good seal again, if you wanted to change them then there about £11 for a set from renault, this includes top and bottom inlet

I've never replaced the gasket when removing the plenum.

Its good practice to replace any gaskets that you disturb. Its a bit of a gamble not replacing it as it may start to leak air and cause idle/running issues.

I just bought one from Renault for about £10ish.

Never had any issues and it's been off three or four times. Just be careful removing and refitting not to damage it.
